I hope you are very well and today I want to share with you another challenge that I saw in Anya's blog this time hosted by Escape with Dollycas Into A Good Book blog(click in the word blog if you want to know more about this challenge)

This challenge will run from January 1st, 2016 until December 31st, 2016.

You can join anytime. You do not have to review the book. Books can come from any genre. You do not need to link up each spoonful.

Make a page or a post or a GoodReads shelf where you will keep track of your spoonfuls.

Crossovers to other challenges are allowed and encouraged!

It’s an alphabet challenge!!! The challenge is to read one book that has a title starting with every letter of the alphabet.You can drop the A’s and The’s from the book titles as shown below.The First Main Word Needs To BeThe Letter You Are Counting Except For those pesky Q, X AND Z titles the word that starts with the challenge letter can be anywhere in the title.

So there are two different ways you can set up your own A-Z Reading Challenge.

A –
How I plan to do it: Make a list on your blog from A-Z. Throughout the
year, as you go along, add the books you are reading to the list.
Towards the end of the year, you can check and see which letters you are
missing and find books to fit.

OR

B – Make a list now of 26 books, picking one for each letter of the alphabet. For example: A – The Art of Murder by Elaine Viets B- Breach of Crust by Ellery Adams C – Copy Cap Murder by Jenn McKinlay D – Devonshire Scream by Laura Childs etc.

Books can be read in any order and all formats – print – e-book – audio – are acceptable for this challenge!

I have decided to pick it up the A option and as Anya I'm going to keep track how I'm doing it in this post.

I hope you're having a great day and today I want to share with you this video. The other day I watched Lauren and the books video about books beginning with CHRISTMAS and I decided to do the same. This consists of creating the word Christmas with the titles of the books you pick up, so the first book start with c, the second with h and so and so on.

Tuesday, December 22, 2015

I hope you are very well and today I want to share with you some books I have bought recently. Given the fact that Christmas is around the corner I've decided to show you the ones that are set at Christmas time :)

Once you've read it...review it then link it up in the review linky you can find in her blog.

What Counts

Any book over 80ish pages counts (please no short stories)

Books MUST be read in 2016

All book formats count!

Challenge cross overs count!

Anyone can join! If you don't have a blog you can use a dedicated shelf on Goodreads or similar.

There's aFB groupfor the challenge--join to get book suggestions, socialize and get event news!

LevelsLevel 1 (Sunbathing): 6 books

Level 2 (Dipping the Toes): 12 books

Level 3 (Wading In): 25 books

Level 4 (Going for a Swim): 50 books

Level 5 (Diving In): 75 books

Level 6 (Cannon ball! ALL in!): 75+ books **you can join at any level and move it around during the challenge

So what I have decided is to pick up the level 3(wading in): 25 books because, although I read a lot of books most of the time I pick short books so in this way I don't feel pressure to read longer books to review them.

I hope you're well and today I want to share with you this cool idea I've found in Sheila's blog Book Journey

This consists of picking the
book that you will be reading into the new year. It can be a coveted
book that you have been waiting to read, a guilty pleasure book, a
re-read of a favorite that you want to explore once again… whatever you
want.

Our posts of what we are reading will go live on January 1st. You do
not need to be done with the book on January 1st, just reading it on
January 1st and yes, you can start on the 31st and be reading into the
New Year.

Cool huh?

So, if you're interested the only thing you have to do is to fill a short form (it is not even necessary that you know your book already)Click here to go to Sheila's blog to fill the form.

I hope you are very well and today I want to wish Jane Austen a happy birthday.

This day, 240 years ago, Jane Austen was born and to celebrate it, let's talk about one of her books: Lady Susan.

Lady Susan is about a woman, Lady Susan, who is tired of living in London and decides to go to visit to her husband's family. She is a widower who really likes manipulating people to take what she thinks is right for her.

My thoughts about this book.

First of all I didn't want to read this book because I had the impression that this one was incomplete. I think I heard that because this one was found between her papers after her death and there was no title on this work. It was (if I remember correctly) her nephew who put this title on it. But I saw a booktuber talking about it because she really liked it, so I decided to give it a go.

One thing I really liked about this book was the fact that even though this book was written long time ago the characters are not out-dated. You can easily recognize them, you know people like them.

Another thing that I really liked it was that this book was easy to read. The book is a compilation of letters that characters send to each other and you can read them now and then. The book is also very short (150 pages) and you can read it in just one day.

Something that I didn't like was that sometimes was difficult to follow because I didn't remember who was who and I tended to mix up characters. People who shared surnames, but they weren't in reality sharing blood, confused me.

Overall, I liked this book and I had a great time reading it.

If you want to read more Jane Austen's book, please check it out this one because it's a good one.

Today I want to talk about my Top Ten Books I Read in 2015. I decided to record a video where I tell you what I liked the most and why. Please don't forget to share with me your favorite books in the comment section below.

How are you? I hope you're very well and today I want to share with you the book I'm going to spend the day with.

This one is a compilation of cartoon strips that Charles M. Schulz wrote between the years 1963 and 1964. It has 300 pages but I'm reading it very quickly because it's funny, entertaining and engaging. I knew that I was going to like, but I never thought that I was going to have such great time :)

Today I have decided to share with you a video telling you the books I have read this month so far and I have realised that all of them are Christmas books. I hope you enjoy this video and find here your next read.
